The blob that vibes with you
A desktop mascot that aggregates AI news, scores headlines with a local LLM, and alerts you when something big drops. No productivity. Just slop.
>Quick Start
Downloads the latest release, moves it to /Applications, and launches Sloppy.
macOS 14.0+ required. The one-liner handles everything for you.
Everything Sloppy does
Spoiler: not much. And that's the point.
On-Device LLM
Runs Llama 3.2 1B locally via MLX. Scores every headline for importance—no API keys, no cloud, fully private.
Breaking News Alerts
When the LLM scores a headline ≥ 7/10, Sloppy auto-expands with an orange alert. Auto-dismisses after 8 seconds.
AI News Feed
Click Sloppy to see what's happening in AI. Pulls from Hacker News, Reddit, arXiv, and Google News.
Draggable & Always On Top
Sloppy floats above your windows. Drag it anywhere. It lives on your desktop like a good little mascot.
Menu Bar Controls
See model status, trigger LLM downloads, check for updates, or quit. Sloppy stays out of your dock.
Expressive Animations
Three expansion modes: collapsed blob, expanded news feed, and orange breaking news alert. Sloppy has moods.
Lives on your desktop
Sloppy appears as a floating blob in the corner of your screen. It doesn't take focus, doesn't interrupt you, just vibes in the background while you work (or pretend to work).
